Charlie's weekly wine-ings
Recently I was at Cellar 55 Wine Merchants, looking for new cabernets to serve to guest at our Cape Cod Bed and Breakfast, when a restaurateur friend called looking for 6 bottles of the 2005 Stag Leap Wine Cellars Artemis for a special wedding dinner request. Cellar 55 did not have it in stock, but I thought I had some in my personal cellar back at the Inn. Unfortunately I only had one bottle left in my stash, but I started thinking about this great Cabernet Sauvignon.
The 2005 Stag Leap Wine Cellars Artemis is a great bottle that comes from a great heritage. The Artemis bottle's label bares the signature of Warren Winiarski, Proprietor. He made this 2005 vintage and, thirty-two years ago, the 1973 vintage that made California wines accepted internationally. In 1976 Winiarski's wine beat what was, at that time, the most famous French reds at the now infamous 1976 Paris blind tasting. I blog weekly about tastings I attend, but this was the 'mother' of all tastings.
Until that moment in 1976, no one in the wine world considered California and French wines in the same league. Wine snobs and the general wine buying public accepted on faith that all French wines were superior to any California wines, or wines from anywhere else in the world. That year in Paris, an entrepreneurial small wine shop owner, Steven Spurrier, organized a blind tasting of French and California wines in hopes of generating interest in his wine shop. The event included renowned French judges, but garnered no press coverage except for a bored Time magazine's European correspondent, George Taber, who accidentally attended.
Time magazine's small story about the results shook the wine world. Taber's recollections of the tasting are covered in his 2005 book, the Judgment of Paris, released on the eve of the 30th anniversary of this earth-shaking event. The 2008 movie, Bottle Shock, loosely based on the book, humorously recounts the famous tasting. I recommend the movie for a quick and fun introduction to the event, but if you seriously want to understand the history of California wine and the importance of this event, you must read the book.
I look forward to tasting my last 2005 Artemis from this great heritage, but need to keep looking for more readily available Cabernets to share with our guest this fall.
Happy wine-ing,
Charlie Preus, the Innkeeper's Assistant and Wine Steward at the 1750 Inn at Sandwich Center, Sandwich, Cape Cod, Massachusetts

In September and October, the clear days will be comfortable in the 60-70 F/15-21 C range, with nights demanding a warm jacket or sweater. Winter can be cold and bitter in New York, and the damp wind cuts to the bone. But New York is magical and quiet after a heavy snow (until it all turns to dirty slush). In general, extremes of temperature and humidity can make winter and summer the least dependable times to visit.

It was Jon Gruden's birthday Saturday so ESPN decided to celebrate in a way sure to make everyone involved uncomfortable. There was a Gruden-through-the-ages slideshow. The Washington Redskins cheerleaders brought him a cake. There was half-hearted singing. Gruden mention how he was blushing. Mike Tirico made sure to say "Chucky" about 50 times. The nation cringed.
Tirico also gave Gruden a comically-oversized AARP card. Because Jon Gruden is old.
I just...why is ESPN so obsessed with birthdays? It is weird.

Richard Castle is going to start 2013 with a full house!
Scandal's Darby Stanchfield will reprise her role as Castle's ex-wife Meredith in a January episode of ABC's Castle, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively. And much to the chagrin of Castle (Nathan Fillion), she'll make herself right at home.
Mega Buzz: Castle's major family issuesMeredith comes to town to take her daughter Alexis (Molly Quinn ) to Europe. But when Alexis falls ill with mono, Meredith moves into Castle's loft to take care of her. As if that wasn't bad enough, Castle will also be hosting his new girlfriend Beckett (Stana Katic), whose apartment is being fumigated. Can Castle handle all three women at once? Doubtful, but it should be hilarious and all kinds of awkward to watch him try.

She's also known for playing Gibbs' late wife on NCIS and has held recurring roles on Mad Men and Jericho.
Castle airs Mondays at 10/9c on ABC. Stanchfield's episode, entitled "Significant Others," is scheduled to air in January 2013.

To get public content from your app into users' search results in the Google app, start by setting up your app URLs and adding the Firebase App Indexing library.
Add Firebase and the App Indexing library
Although you don't strictly need Firebase to get your app's public content indexed by Google, App Indexing can help you get more out of Search.
- If you haven't already, add Firebase to your Android project.
- In your project-level
build.gradlefile, make sure to include Google's Maven repository in both your
- Add the dependency for the Firebase App Indexing Android library to
your module (app-level) Gradle file (usually
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-appindexing:19.1.0'
Structure links to your app content
Structure your website and app so the URLs that point to pages on your site are the same URLs that point to views in your Android app. Google Search crawls your site for these links, then uses them to send users directly to your app.
For example, consider the simple http://www.recipe-app.com website from the App Indexing codelab. The links in the app are the same HTTP URLs used on the website and follow a clear structure that matches page types to app view types. Follow this type of structure in your app and website.
The recipe-app.com sample has two page types (for recipes and notes), but you could have many more page types on your site, each with a distinct link type. For example, recipe-app.com includes the following link types:
- Recipe Pages: http://www.recipe-app.com/recipe/*
- Note Pages: http://www.recipe-app.com/recipe/*/note
- Cooking Class Registration Page: http://www.recipe-app.com/registration
- Cooking Class Schedule Page: http://www.recipe-app.com/schedule
But it could also include Cooking Class pages, using the following link types:
To streamline your work, understand the number and types of links you'll need to support before you start building your app. Also make sure you create good titles and descriptions for your pages.
Once you've defined your structure and start creating screens in your app, remember that you also need back navigation. Users should return to the previous screen if they tap the back button after opening a link.
Add Android App Links to your app
For public content included in Google Search results handle links to your app through Android App Links. Android App Links help you make sure users land in the right place when they open a link to your app. Users that don't have your app installed can also run your app without installing it through Android Instant Apps.
Android App Links include two major components:
- Deep links to your app content: Add intent filters to your manifest to define the HTTP URL mapping you set up in the step above, then configure your app to use data from the intents to send users to the right content. Learn more in Create Deep Links to App Content.
- Link verification: Configure your app to request link verification, confirming ownership of both your site and your app. Then, publish a Digital Asset Links file to your website that verifies your ownership. Learn more in Verify App Links.
The App Links Assistant in Android Studio walks you through the process outlined in the Android App Links documentation. Learn more about using the App Links Assistant.

There is an interesting federal court opinion that came out this month on a street artist/violinist who was barred by a police officer from playing the Ocean City boardwalk. Faced with the threat of
arrest, three months in jail and a $500 fine, plaintiff waited a year and filed a lawsuit.
Plaintiff filed a motion for injunctive relief, asking the court order Ocean City not to enforce a 30-foot audibility restriction on the O.C. boardwalk.
Judge Hollander looked at the factors to consider in warranting injunctive relief. The most interesting to me is: who do you think will win? Judge Hollander believes the plaintiff will win.
This is a classic declaratory relief opinion, the same stuff I use when teaching torts to my students. I bet it will be taught in Maryland law schools because it is a fun application of the relevant factors. You can find the opinion in Hassay v. Ocean City here.

The American economy is still, by most measures, deeply depressed. But corporate profits are at a record high. How is that possible? It's simple: profits have surged as a share of national income, while wages and other labor compensation are down. The pie isn't growing the way it should — but capital is doing fine by grabbing an ever-larger slice, at labor's expense.
Wait — are we really back to talking about capital versus labor? Isn't that an old-fashioned, almost Marxist sort of discussion, out of date in our modern information economy? Well, that's what many people thought; for the past generation discussions of inequality have focused overwhelmingly not on capital versus labor but on distributional issues between workers, either on the gap between more- and less-educated workers or on the soaring incomes of a handful of superstars in finance and other fields. But that may be yesterday's story.
More specifically, while it's true that the finance guys are still making out like bandits — in part because, as we now know, some of them actually are bandits — the wage gap between workers with a college education and those without, which grew a lot in the 1980s and early 1990s, hasn't changed much since then. Indeed, recent college graduates had stagnant incomes even before the financial crisis struck. Increasingly, profits have been rising at the expense of workers in general, including workers with the skills that were supposed to lead to success in today's economy.
Why is this happening? As best as I can tell, there are two plausible explanations, both of which could be true to some extent. One is that technology has taken a turn that places labor at a disadvantage; the other is that we're looking at the effects of a sharp increase in monopoly power. Think of these two stories as emphasizing robots on one side, robber barons on the other.
About the robots: there's no question that in some high-profile industries, technology is displacing workers of all, or almost all, kinds. For example, one of the reasons some high-technology manufacturing has lately been moving back to the United States is that these days the most valuable piece of a computer, the motherboard, is basically made by robots, so cheap Asian labor is no longer a reason to produce them abroad.
In a recent book, "Race Against the Machine," M.I.T.'s Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee argue that similar stories are playing out in many fields, including services like translation and legal research. What's striking about their examples is that many of the jobs being displaced are high-skill and high-wage; the downside of technology isn't limited to menial workers.
Still, can innovation and progress really hurt large numbers of workers, maybe even workers in general? I often encounter assertions that this can't happen. But the truth is that it can, and serious economists have been aware of this possibility for almost two centuries. The early-19th-century economist David Ricardo is best known for the theory of comparative advantage, which makes the case for free trade; but the same 1817 book in which he presented that theory also included a chapter on how the new, capital-intensive technologies of the Industrial Revolution could actually make workers worse off, at least for a while — which modern scholarship suggests may indeed have happened for several decades.
What about robber barons? We don't talk much about monopoly power these days; antitrust enforcement largely collapsed during the Reagan years and has never really recovered. Yet Barry Lynn and Phillip Longman of the New America Foundation argue, persuasively in my view, that increasing business concentration could be an important factor in stagnating demand for labor, as corporations use their growing monopoly power to raise prices without passing the gains on to their employees.
I don't know how much of the devaluation of labor either technology or monopoly explains, in part because there has been so little discussion of what's going on. I think it's fair to say that the shift of income from labor to capital has not yet made it into our national discourse.
Yet that shift is happening — and it has major implications. For example, there is a big, lavishly financed push to reduce corporate tax rates; is this really what we want to be doing at a time when profits are surging at workers' expense? Or what about the push to reduce or eliminate inheritance taxes; if we're moving back to a world in which financial capital, not skill or education, determines income, do we really want to make it even easier to inherit wealth?
As I said, this is a discussion that has barely begun — but it's time to get started, before the robots and the robber barons turn our society into something unrecognizable.

(covers information from several alternate timelines)
Dispersal patterns or spread patterns were preset dispersal spreads used when firing torpedoes.
In 2366, in an alternate timeline, USS Enterprise-D weakened the deflector shields of an attacking Klingon K'vort-class warship by using dispersal pattern Sierra. The dispersal pattern involved launching five photon torpedoes simultaneously. The torpedoes spread out mid-flight and struck the target nearly simultaneously from multiple angles. (TNG: "Yesterday's Enterprise")
In 2370, when testing new photon torpedoes with a targeting system enhanced by Worf, the Enterprise-D fired torpedoes at coordinates 005-mark-317 of an asteroid field in spread pattern Delta 9-4. The spread pattern involved the rapid firing of three torpedoes: the first striking a central asteroid, the second an asteroid to the right, and the third an asteroid to the left. During the test, the third torpedo malfunctioned and missed its target. (TNG: "Genesis")
In 2372, USS Voyager used dispersal pattern Sierra when firing photon torpedoes at a Kazon carrier vessel. (VOY: "Basics, Part I")

Day 10 of the Advent proves that IPA is a huge component of the craft beer market. This is another in a long line of good India Pale Ale's that Diana got for me.
The flavor on this one was a little bit much for my taste. I feel like IPAs get a bit of an aftertaste and depending on the way this is brewed, it can be a turn off for me. I doubt I will search this out. If you like IPAs, give it a try but I can't say I would drink another one.
That is all,

I picked the Blueberry Pomegranate and Tangerine Lime to try out. Now usually I'm a little suspicious when companies advertise these ridiculous flavors like Cucumber Mint Dream (OK, I added the dream part) or Goji Berry Green Tea (actual Nuun flavors), but I must admit - I've tasted this before and it does have a hint of the Goji Berry in there...ha. No, in all seriousness though, the flavors I've tried so far really do taste like the name and they are very refreshing and quench my thirst.
Perfect Combo!
|Filling up the water bottles and adding some Nuun
Now the thing that sold me on Nuun the most is that it is sweetened with Stevia (natural sweetener). We actually grow Stevia in our garden and my wife uses it to sweeten a lot of the things she makes for me and the kids. Nuun doesn't have all of the chemicals that often come with sports drinks and I can tell because it just settles well in my stomach. As I mentioned in my last post, as a triathlete these tabs are very convenient. I throw them in my jersey when I'm cycling and refill the nasty-turned-delicious fountain water on my long rides and I throw two in my Nuun water bottle whenever I'm driving down to a race or hydrating after a long pool session. So check them out when you get a chance. If you're local in Temecula - you can get them at my favorite sponsor, The Bike Shop. If you're not you can check out Nuun's Store Locator for a store near you or you can always go straight to the source and by direct from Nuun.
Happy Hydration!

The Houston Dynamo and New York Red Bulls will meet for the second match in little more than a month in a crunch match in the Eastern Conference when the clubs face off Sunday afternoon at BBVA Compass Stadium. The Dynamo can clinch a berth in the MLS Cup Playoffs with a win and the right combination of other results, following their scoreless draw at Sporting KC last week. The Red Bulls have already booked their ticket to the postseason – but are now chasing the Supporters' Shield – coming off a late 2-2 draw with the New England Revolution two weeks ago.

- It was New York's first league win ever in Houston; the Dynamo came into the last meeting 4-0-3 all-time at home vs. New York. The Red Bulls are 6-0-3 all-time at home vs. Houston.
- The Red Bulls did win the second leg of a conference semifinal series in Houston in the 2008 MLS Cup Playoffs, advancing 4-1 on aggregate after a 3-0 win at Robertson Stadium, following a 1-1 draw in the first leg.
- Coaches record: Dominic Kinnear v NY: P22 W6 L8 D8 ... Mike Petke vs. HOU: P2 W2 L0 D0
The Houston Dynamo stretched their late-season undefeated run to five matches, reaching a scoreless draw with Sporting Kansas City on Oct. 9 at BBVA Compass Stadium. The Dynamo are in third place in the Eastern Conference with 48 points from 32 matches.
- Sporting goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen was called upon to make four saves in keeping the clean sheet, including three saves in the opening seven minutes of the match. Two of the shots were from Dynamo striker Will Bruin from point blank range.
- The Dynamo came closest to scoring on the stroke of halftime, when Aurelien Collin headed a Brad Davis free kick off the line. Dynamo goalkeeper Tally Hall was required to make just one save for the shutout.

- The Dynamo extended their late-season undefeated streak to five matches, since losing back-to-back games to Columbus (0-2) and New York (1-4) on Sept. 4-8.
- "Sometimes the game doesn't work out the way you want it to, sometimes you can play a great game and lose and you can play bad games and win. So this was one of those nights where I think we played a good game," said midfielder Brad Davis. "I think everyone feels like that but we're unfortunate to not get three points. It is what it is we're going to look at the positives and just keep going."
- The Dynamo are coming off back-to-back defensive shutouts for the first time since May 5-8, following the scoreless draw with Sporting KC. They have shutouts in three of the last five matches.
- "I thought it was a good game all around for us," said Davis. "We kept another clean sheet against another difficult team, which is always a good thing. We felt like we deserved three points."
- Andrew Driver was able to return to the starting lineup for the first time since Sept. 4, playing the full match in a wide midfield role. He had come on as a late substitute the week before vs. Montréal.
- "It was great, I stuck with the guys for so long because it was a perfect night, the level of intensity and effort never dropped or stopped," said Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear. "It was good to see them get through this, we know this next week is going to lead up to something really big for us which are important games against New York, in Panama and D.C United so it's good to have some healthy guys knowing they can go long periods of time because it is a great bonus for us."
- Eric Brunner also made his first start since Sept. 1, when he was forced off before halftime with an ankle injury in the Columbus match.
- "Everyone is fighting for points to get those playoffs spots and we have a good streak going," Brunner said. "I think the team gave it a good effort and I think you get a good effort if you leave it all on the field and that's what we did."

Review: Ziggy Stardust was "constructed as a loose concept album about an androgynous alien rock star" AMG "whose mission is to offer sex and salvation to earthlings." TL The character was inspired by British rock singer Vince Taylor, who, after a breakdown, believed he was "a cross between a god and an alien." WK The persona allowed Bowie to to "explore and flaunt his own hunger for stardom." JI As Bowie said, "I became Ziggy Stardust…David Bowie went totally out the window...I got hopelessly lost in the fantasy.'" TL
Ziggy Stardust
Of course, the over-the-top theatrics are part of the reason for the album's success. This was the first time Bowie's "vision and execution met in such a grand, sweeping fashion." AMG He melded a "glitzy array of riffs, hooks, melodrama, and style" AMG into an "off-kilter metallic mix" AMG that, alongside his "arty, theatrical ambitions," TL made for "the logical culmination of glam." AMG While Bowie didn't invent glam, his homage to idols like Marc Bolan and Iggy Pop could be credited for "setting in motion the glam rock movement that echoed from Alice Cooper to Marilyn Manson." TL
The album's first single, Starman, served up a heavy dose of Bowie's "flamboyant imagery and hard-edged pop" JI via a Top of the Pops appearance in which "Bowie, vermilion-haired in a skintight jumpsuit and painted nails, camply slung a provocative arm around Mick Ronson during the guitarist's solo." JI Songs like that certainly "provided plenty of stage-worthy moments when Ziggy toured in the '70s, but years later they still thrill." AZ Among other gems are radio favorites like the title cut and Suffragette City They "still serve as solid excursions into the future (then and now) of rock." AZ
Suffragette City

Surveillance, the threat of nuclear attack, terrorism, ongoing wars in foreign lands; my work is a commentary on these sensitive issues. I use sarcasm, humor and cynicism to drive home my point-of-view and invite the viewer to question and explore the absurdities of war. My imagery is pulled from the eight years I spent in the Air Force, stories that are buried in the news, movies, documentaries and books on war.
Early on my influences were the Looney Tunes, especially Bugs Bunny. Artists I look to are Chris Burden, Red Grooms, Claus Oldenburg, Judy Pfaff, Alexander Caulder and Maurizio Cattelan – all for different reasons. I've always been fascinated by military aircraft and tanks.
>>>Cheeseburger with bacon, pickles, mustard and mayo<<<
I once heard an interview by some famous artist, I think it was Jasper Johns, talk about his daily routine as an artist and how he put in 8 hour days in the studio because he looked at it like his job, which it is- I try and look at my time in the studio like that. When I'm not teaching I am usually working on some aspect of my art whether its actually creating, sketching out ideas, applying for grants and exhibition spaces, whatever it is- it took me awhile to discover I wanted to do this art thing and now I realize how much time it actually takes. I love it.
Music plays a big part in my creative process- listening to it and allowing it to flow around me as I work. I've been listening to a ton of jazz lately (Jutta Hipp, Count Basie, Kenny Dorham, Coleman Hawkins etc…) but I go in waves- I go through a ton of music and spend quite a bit of time searching for new (to me) stuff. Deerhunter, Fuck Buttons, Fela Kuti, Ratatatat, The Kinks and Monolake are some of the other groups I've been listening to lately.... My time in the studio depends on my work schedule- anytime is okay with me.
Right now, teaching as an adjunct in Printmaking and Drawing at New Mexico State University along with grants I get every once in awhile.
Lately it's been my sewing machine, etching press and screenprint equipment.
Well, I just got done (27 Jan) with this three-week residency at Kutztown University in Pennsylvania where they gave me a nice sized stipend and 24 hour access to their gallery space (Sharadin Gallery) and allowed me to do with it whatever I wanted to, so I did. I had 9 tons of sand delivered and made a big sandbag bunker. It was also an opportunity for me to display the work I have been creating over the past five years together in one space. It was a little nerve racking but a pretty amazing experience.
Well, not show up for work the next day would be a start and then drive out of town with my middle finger in the air- just kidding. Am I? Who knows? When I get that check in the mail I'll send you a postcard from somewhere.
I love getting out into the solitude of the desert where you feel like no one else is around. Find a peak to sit on and listen to the quiet. It's a great feeling. What do you love most about where you live? The mountains, desert and burritos.
I have this theory that the next generation is going to grow up with hunched backs because of every one walking around looking down at their phones and squatting around their laptops. Put that fucking thing down and experience something other than what is on that screen in front of you. I hate cell phones.
I was invited into the Printmaking Triennial at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb with five other printmakers that work in installation and deal with social/political themes. I'm pretty excited to be working with some of these guys and meeting the others I don't know yet. The show opens on the 15th of February and closes mid-March. If you are in the area it should be worth checking out. If anyone knows of any spaces that may be interested in exhibiting this work then let me know- chrisdacre@gmail

The LH blood test measures the amount of luteinizing hormone (LH). LH is a hormone released by the pituitary gland.
In women, an increase in LH levels at mid-cycle causes ovulation.
In men, LH stimulates production of testosterone.
ICSH - blood test; Luteinizing hormone - blood test; Interstitial cell stimulating hormone - blood test
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see: Venipuncture
The health care provider may advise you to avoid drugs that may affect the test. Drugs that can decrease LH measurements include birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy, and testosterone.
If you are a woman of childbearing age, the test may need to be done on a specific day of your menstrual cycle.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Your doctor may order this test if you are a woman who is having trouble getting pregnant, who does not have regular periods, or has signs of a disorder associated with abnormal levels of LH.
A normal result for am adult female is 5 to 25 IU/L. Levels peak around the middle of the menstrual cycle.
The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Greater-than-normal levels of LH may indicate:
Lower-than-normal levels of LH may indicate hypopituitarism.
Additional conditions under which the test may be performed include:
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
Recent exposure to radioisotopes (a recent nuclear medicine scan, for example) can interfere with test results.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is in Cuba, the latest stop on his Latin American tour. Ahmadinejad landed in Havana Wednesday, where he was greeted by Cuban Vice President Esteban Lazo.
The Iranian leader is expected to meet with Cuban President Raul Castro as well as with Fidel Castro during the brief, one-day stop. He is also expected to give a speech at the University of Havana.
Cuba's state-run media reported Ahmadinejad made a "V" for victory sign with his fingers as he greeted officials.
The Iranian leader's visit comes as international pressure is mounting on Tehran over its nuclear program. Iran is facing growing sanctions over the program and tensions rose further Wednesday after a scientist who worked on Iran's nuclear program was killed in a bombing.
Iranian officials have blamed the attack on Israel and the United States.
President Ahmadinejad's visit to Cuba is part of a four-nation Latin America tour that has already taken him to Venezuela and Nicaragua, where he attended the inauguration of President Daniel Ortega. After Cuba, Ahmadinejad heads to Ecuador.
In recent years, the Iranian president has courted leftist, populist and anti-American Latin American leaders, particularly Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
U.S. officials have urged Latin American countries not to deepen their ties with Iran. The U.S. has called the tour a sign of desperation for Iran, which has been heavily sanctioned over its nuclear program.
A U.S. State Department spokeswoman accused the Iranian government of being "desperate for friends" and of what she called "flailing around" to find new allies.

As a longtime Simpsons fan who had gone astray, only to be brought back into the fold by the very well written movie earlier this year, The Simpsons Game has been one of my most anticipated titles of the year. I went in knowing my hopes could be dashed though. Despite a few notable attempts, the Simpsons forays into gaming thus far have ranged from the enjoyable (The Simpsons Arcade) to the downright painful (Bart's Nightmare, I'm looking at you). Having quickly blazed through one of the console versions, I sat down to see if Springfield could be packed into portable form without losing some of its luster. Would the game be able to succeed despite the limitations imposed by the handheld?
Graphically , the game is an impressive feat, managing to capture the look and feel of the cartoon and bringing the Simpsons to life on your screen. Everything looks clean and crisp, with animations that mimic those of the show. The hand drawn segments meant to be in the exact style of the show are beautifully done and really show that sometimes we do welcome being taken out of the game world for our cinemas. This is painfully evident when the game attempts to provide cinematics using the in-game engine, as characters look awkward and disjointed upon close inspection, and it really takes you out of the experience. From a distance the 3-D is beautiful, but zoom in and things take a nasty turn.
The gameplay is broken up into different levels, and each level has specific characters you must use to tackle it, each with different abilities, such as Bart using his Bartman cape to glide and Marge's ability to court town-goers to follow her and do her bidding. The variety to the levels is wonderful, most levels parodying one or multiple different video game related subjects (I'll leave it at the as to not spoil anything). Even better are the Comic Book Guy "video game cliches" - different moments where he will appear on screen and announce that you've found another cliché, with over 30 to collect throughout the game. You'll be shocked to see just how often this industry re-uses the same subject matter over and over. The humor and self-parody of The Simpsons Game is by far its greatest asset. Early on , the game reveals to the characters that they are in fact living within a video game, and this helps to keep things feeling unique and provides a vessel for the writers to go on an all out assault towards everything about the games industry and the Simpsons themselves.
Second only to the game's humor is the incredible sound and voice-acting of the title. Just about every major and minor character is voiced by the same actor who does the voices for the show, and it's apparent from just how spot on every word throughout the game is delivered. The music matches the show's spirit perfectly, and every single nuance is present and accounted for. This is truly a benchmark for how licensed products need to be approached if they ever hope to rise above the mediocre. It's a shame the gameplay can't keep up with the humor and voice work.
The game's combat in a bit uninspired, and seems more like just something you need to push through in order to get to the next joke or pop-culture reference. Punching enemies with the same moves over and over seems worth it though when the humor is just so spot-on. The puzzles seem enjoyable at first, until you realize early on it's the same exact things over and over. Homer has to stomp on something. Bart has to use jet streams to glide across. Wash-rinse-repeat. With so many games to be parodied, one would think the options for parody in gameplay would be abundant. Though we do get a few interesting portions to break up the gameplay such as mimicking Frogger, over-all both combat and puzzle elements are uninspired.

DescriptionThis is the treasure hunter's dream - a mine full of jewels! In Midas Miner you have to switch the places of jewels to create rows and columns of same colour jewels. As the jewels you mine disappear, new jewels fall down from above. Plan to create valuable combinations and you might end up collecting all the money!
- The idea behind Midas Miner is to switch the places of two jewels to create rows and columns of 3 or more of the same jewel to clear them.
- As the jewels you clear disappear, new jewels fall down to fill their place. Clear as many jewels as you can within the time limit.
- To switch a pair of jewels you click on them with your left mouse button. As your click on the second jewel you they will automatically start to switch places. You can only switch jewels that are touching horisontally or vertically.

Green Bay Press Gazette is reporting that part of the reason for the delay in TT's press conference today is that there is apparently a bidding war going on between the Jets and the Bucs for Favre. The fact that 2 teams want him and are apparently bidding against one another does score some points for the Packers management here. While I'm still waiting to see what really happened with all this, I must say there is slight comfort at the thought that we may end up getting something in return for Favre leaving…that is of course, if Favre actually ends up playing and reporting to that team's camp.
Steve will immediately rip this apart – but I hope Favre goes to the Jets and we somehow get both a draft pick or two AND Chad Pennington out of it. Despite being a popular guy to rip on lately, I'm telling you, he's still got something left. He doesn't have the greatest arm and is injury prone, but there is something about him mentally that could make him a valuable player to acquire. And, as much faith as I still have in Mike McCarthy to develop QBs, I would feel way more comfortable going into the season with at least one QB who has NFL experience.
STEVE ADDS: No, I like the Pennington part of a deal. He's a veteran, and he'd be a backup. (Plus, the fact that he throws noodles isn't as big a liability in our offense.) Could mentor Rodgers. My only concern is that the Jets would see it as giving up their likely starter and I think (and the Packers would think) that he's an add-on, with the draft being far more important.
ANDY ADDS: What? are you warming to the Pennington in Green and Gold idea? You used to Washington DC me (cut me off immediately) every time I would mention his name! It's interesting PFT has a story up here, claiming Mangini doesn't know yet who the starter is – my guess is there may be a reason for this. I sure hope we don't get Clemens somehow (which I would highly doubt)…that guy rots.

By JEFF PICKELL
Someone once said, "Man is the only creature that drinks when it is not thirsty."
That quote should be extended to, "Man is the only creature that bulldozes and landscapes massive stretches of untouched nature, spends great sums on metal shafts and tiny balls, and wakes up at 5:30 a.m. on a Saturday so that it can drink when it is not thirsty."
For those who don't share my wry and unfunny sense of humor, I'm referring to the often simultaneous acts of playing golf and drinking beer, which comprise the unofficial pastime of American businessmen who should be at work but hate their jobs.
I suppose the pleasing combination of alcohol and whacking the buh-jesus out of something offers some consolation for these miserable men, but it never has for me. On the contrary, playing golf makes me hate my life even more.
Here's why: my mom always tells me I shouldn't sweat the stuff I can't control, so I don't. I don't sweat things like my poor diet, dire physical shape, outrageous spending habits, dirty dishes, tattered wardrobe, or childish lack of self-control.
However, I do sweat things I should be able to control, like the trajectory of a tiny ball sitting on a tee. My friend Will describes a miracle as a momentary breakdown of the laws of physics. If this is the case, golf is one big old miracle, because there's not a physicist on the planet who can explain to me how, by swinging a club forward, I can send a ball careening 150 yards to my right.
And there's not a physicist on the planet who can explain to me how my brother John's seemingly identical swing sends the ball 350 yards down the fairway.
John and I teamed up against six other family members last week for the annual Fourth of July golf outing, and from the woods, sand traps, water hazards, weeds and, occasionally, rough, I had the pleasure of watching my brother play one of the best games of his life. With a five over par 41, he carded the top score of all the participants, but, sadly, my 18 over par round put us out of the running for the team title.
However, I'm not ashamed to say that's the closest I've ever gotten to beating John.
My brother has always been better at sports than me because he has something that I lack: not being a head case. For John, when it comes to hitting a ball straight, that's as easy as it is; he puts his mind to it, and his body cooperates. My mind and my body hate each other, as, I believe, my athletic record—and appearance—demonstrates.
But that's why I enjoy watching John when he's in form; it's almost sublime to see someone similarly burdened with these toxic Pickell genes competing so gracefully and graciously. It's reassuring to know that, perhaps, with a little genetic engineering, I, too, might one day run a mile without feeling like my lungs are trying to kick their way out of my chest.
I'm not going to turn this into a "let's fawn all over John," column, though. His athletic dominance of our family is far-reaching, but not absolute. For instance, I'm far superior to him at the noble aquatic game of Marco Polo. I'm unmatched at trampoline dodge ball. On our bicycles, I can peddle hands-free farther than him.
Also, I can juggle three tennis balls to his two, and make my ears twitch while doing it.
I should say too, though, that there's an advantage to being as bad as I am at golf; I get more opportunities to hit great shots than John does.
For example, John rarely gets the chance to pop a ball 120 yards onto the green from atop a stump in the middle of a forest, as I did last Tuesday. And I'm pretty sure that John has never used his driver to send a ball 200 yards down the fairway after a 12-yard tee-off that landed in a sand trap.
These dazzling displays often make John's "straight" shots that land where he intends seem paltry in comparison.
There are also health benefits to my style of play. Since 80 percent of my balls land places a cart can't navigate, I spend a lot of time walking. I also burn a lot of calories scratching the poison ivy and poison sumac rashes I get from an average day on the golf course.
So, next time you see calamine-soaked "Pink Legs" Pickell walking around the neighborhood, know that he's probably spent a day reaffirming his fallibility on the golf course.– July 12, 2006

The UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply) market has become one of the most fast-growing and demanding market in the world.

The utilization of internet and telecommunication equipment has become universal in today's society. As a result, the UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) market has become one of the fastest-growing and demanding markets in the world.
UPS systems are used to ensure the supply of power to hospitals, banks, data centers and a variety of other mission-critical electrical equipment, preventing data loss and security breaches.
Many facilities have adopted UPS systems based on conventional lead-acid batteries. However, a rising market trend prefers/favors a use of Lithium-ion batteries, considering limitations in space, weight, life-cycle costs, eco-friendliness, and overall performance.
- Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems: A conventional UPS with lead-acid battery require frequent replacement of battery and large space of installation due to short life cycle and size of battery. Unlike conventional UPS systems, Kokam UPS solutions use Lithium-ion batteries which have high energy density and long cycle life. Reduction in size of battery is most appealing/preferable to those environments where installation space is strictly limited such as telecom repeaters and single factory-tested enclosures with large-scale containerized systems, incorporating both batteries and UPS inverters.
- Industrial Machinery: The demand for safe and durable Lithium-ion batteries will increase as more industries adopt computerized systems into their operating processes. Industrial heavy equipment, industrial robots, and automatic guided vehicles (AGV) are some of the examples of use of Lithium-ion batteries.

Veterans Michael Futch, right, and Logan Remillard register for the "Hiring Our Heroes" job fair in Utah last November. Companies say they are are stepping up efforts to hire veterans.
Veterans who are looking for work may have reason to feel more optimistic about their job prospects this Veterans Day: A new survey finds that businesses appear to be making a greater effort to hire them.
The CareerBuilder survey finds that 29 percent of employers are actively recruiting veterans, up 9 percent from a year ago.
In all, 65 percent of the 2,600 employers surveyed on behalf of CareerBuilder said they would be more likely to hire a veteran over another, equally qualified candidate.
The efforts come amid increased attention to the plight of job-seeking veterans. Unemployment has been a particularly big problem for young veterans who are returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to high unemployment and low job prospects.
The unemployment rate for veterans who have served since Sept. 11 was 10 percent in October. That's far higher than the comparable unemployment rate of 7.5 percent for the entire population. The figures are not adjusted for seasonal variations.
Many young veterans are expected to enter the workforce in coming years, as the U.S. withdraws from wars in the Gulf and potentially looks to shrink its overall presence as well. The job market has been slowly improving, and that could help increase their changes of finding a job.
But experts say the young veterans are facing additional roadblocks as well.
Many don't have the skills or experience in crafting a resume and interviewing for a job outside the military. They also may not know how to translate their military skills into civilian language that would make them attractive to employers.
Some veterans are also finding that the skills they learned have in the military, such as driving a military truck or serving as a military medic, don't translate directly into civilian life. That means they have to spend time and money getting the same certifications to do their job outside the military.
Advocates argue that veterans also bring a special set of skills to the workforce, such as loyalty and the ability to perform under pressure. Other perks, such as the good publicity that comes from hiring veterans, probably don't hurt, either.

Post subject: Century Graphic parts shared w/other "baby" Grafle
Are the bellows, lens boards, and perhaps some other pieces on the Century Graphic cameras shared with with other models of 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 Graflex cameras?
I am particularly interested in the bellows similarities as I recently obtained a "Century Graphic" bellows which is generally similar to the one on my Century, but differs in detail, such as the configuration of the rear end of the bellows, the number of pleats, and the front end of the bellows, which is actually quite a bit different.
I am suspicious that the bellows was not for a Century, but perhaps for a one of the other small Graflex versions.

I can't answer directly 'cos I have only one Century and two 2x3 Crowns. The Century and one of the Crowns have bellows with 8 pleats, the other Crown has, if I counted correctly, 6.
Can't see how the Century's bellows is attached at the rear, the two Crowns are alike.
The rears of all three cameras' front standards, i.e., the front bellows frames, are also very similar.
There were running production changes, but in general parts should interchange. Does your odd bellows' front frame fit y'r Century's front standard?

Many thanks for the responses. They have essentially confirmed what I have suspected, i.e., the new bellows is not for a Century.
Here are some photos of the old vs new.
The lens board end of the original bellows:
The lens board end of the new bellows:
rear standard end of original bellows:
rear standard end of the new bellows:
The rear of the new bellows, with the six tabs, will fit inside the rear standard opening, although the frame of the new bellows opening is about 1/4" narrower, 3" vs 3 1/4".
The front end fit presents considerably more of a problem. The metal frame of the original bellows appears to be crimped around the bellows material, preventing an easy removal of the bellows itself and fitting of the new bellows material.
Pleat-wise, the new bellows seems to have one less pleat than the original bellows. Will this cause any problem (assuming I am able to somehow get it mounted to the camera) with bellows draw using the standard 101 or 103mm lens?

A "45 Pacemaker Speed and Crown Graphic" service manual from the General Precision era has:
P/N 31061-G1 Bellows Assembly-second (no longer available) see note.
Note: replace bellows with 31061-G3 and two bellows retaining clips 32450.
The bellows picture matches the original you posted.
The manual lists the service differences for the 2x3 and 3x4 bodies. The early style bellows part number is 31061-G1. It is crimped to the back frame at the corners. The 4x5 has to have holes drilled to fit the G3 bellows.
Separating the bellows from its mount frame will be the easy part, reattaching it to another frame will be the hard part unless you have access to a pressure crimping device or don't mind using glue or RTV sealant to get the frame mating light tight.
What is the part number of the "new" bellows?
The best camera ever made is the one that YOU enjoy using and produces the image quality that satifies YOU.

Part number appears to be "24380" according to the envelope the bellows came in.
According to the info I have from the Century Graphic Service Instructions and Parts Catalog dated October 1961, the correct bellows is part no. 31740-G2. Presumably this would be a black bellows, and there is no listing for the red bellows.

shows a
black bellows century made from 1949-1954
red bellows from 1954-1963
above serial number 532884 from 1964-?
The service manual will have better information than most of us and will only be current up to its publication date.
What is the serial number of your camera?
The only cameras the questionable bellows could fit are the
1938-1947 Miniature Speed
1947-1958 Crown
1947-1958 Speed
1949-? Century

SN is 525607, which according to the Century SN info contained on this site would yield a production date most likely some time in 1958.
One interesting things is the CAMEROSITY serial number translation of the Ektar lens on the camera yields a production date of the lens of 1953. Either the lens laid around in somebody's (Kodak or Graflex) inventory for about 5 years before being installed in a camera, or the camera had a lens transplant some time during it's life.

SN 525607 is #707 of a batch of 1000 listed in February 1955 with the next batch listed in November 1958. Yours is most likely a 1957 or early 1958. Cameras were built according to demand.

After pondering my bellows predicament for most of a day, I felt I was in danger of entering that state known as "paralysis by analysis". I decided to take drastic action. The first thing to do was to remove the old bellows from the front bellows frame, without destroying the frame itself.
The bellows, mount frame, and the tool of their separation, a mat knife blade.
The new bellows and the original mount frame, bellows removed.
The chosen method of attaching the new bellows to the original frame, insulation sealing tape,
1/2" x 1/16 thick. The adhesive on both sides is unbelievably sticky.
Trim as required with the mat cutter blade.
Remove the backing material from the tape.
Stick the mount frame to the bellows, and install the bellows into the camera body.
Rear of bellows. Note the missing lower Graflok slide assembly. Anybody have a spare one of those?
The finished bellows replacement. Not a high-tech solution, and not nearly as neat as the original piece, but workable, and we'll see how long it lasts. From my experience with that sealing tape, it will be there for a long time.

In the next to last image you posted the white tape can be seen on the inside edge of the front standard/bellows. Paint it
. High carbon artist paint will work fine.

If the Holocaust was greatly facilitated by world apathy, an opposite trend is now in progress, with Holocaust study programs flourishing in many countries.
Even Arab teachers and students in Israel are currently studying the Shoah and its causes.
It's been three years now since Yad Vashem's International School for Holocaust Studies began offering a seminar for Arab teachers in Arab towns. And participating educators are saying positive things.
"A year ago I visited Yad Vashem for the first time," history teacher Hanan Mahmid of Umm el-Fahm (Israel's third largest Arab city, between Afula and Hadera) told Ynet, "and I was in shock…. I think Arab students should visit Yad Vashem once a year." What made her take part in the seminar?
"I think the younger generation needs to know and learn what happened there. The Jewish people have also been through much pain and suffering. As a teacher, I feel a responsibility to teach them about this subject."
The three-month seminar for Arab teachers is conducted in their hometowns for ten monthly hours. Another Yad Vashem program for Arab teachers was held last year at Yad Vashem itself and brought together one hundred forty teachers from around the country. The first-person testimonies the teachers hear from survivors apparently make the greatest impression.
"I had never been exposed to testimonies and the experiences of real people who where there," said Mahmid. "All these are proof that the Shoah took place and that there is no room to deny it."
To understand the sea change in thinking suggested by the interest in such programs, consider that in 1982 Mahmoud Abbas, now the president of the Palestinian Authority, wrote a doctoral thesis in which he raised doubts about the existence of Nazi gas chambers and suggested that the number of Jews actually killed was about one million; the common figure of six times that amount, he maintained, was disseminated by the Zionist leadership in order to "attain larger gains" after the war and to "divide the booty."
Can Shoah studies actually help neutralize Arab hatred for Israelis? Some of the Arab teachers reported that their students frequently "compared the Shoah to the Israeli-Arab conflict" – an indication that it is hard for them to sympathize with Jewish suffering under current circumstances. One teacher said she tries to explain that the Holocaust was "a tragedy that must not be repeated, not a regular war," and that the students "understand."
Many of the Arab teachers request additional Holocaust learning materials and teaching aids.
"The topic of the Holocaust in the Arab sector is complicated," said Dorit Novak, who heads the International School for Holocaust Studies, "and sometimes may give rise to mixed emotions – but a direct encounter and exploration of the content such as this opens the door to a dialogue that reaches beyond Holocaust education."
Yusuf Hasan, a teacher from Kfar Mashhad in northern Israel, said that "It is not easy explaining to Arab kids the Jewish Holocaust." He agreed, though, that personal testimonies are very powerful: "When you hear it from someone who was there at the time, it is as if you are experiencing it with them."
The worldwide scope of Holocaust study programs run by Yad Vashem is impressive. Over the past several months seminars have been held for citizens of China, Taiwan, Germany, Hungary, Finland, Poland, Ukraine, England, Slovakia, Holland, Australia, New Zealand and Latvia, among other places.
More than three thousand educators from around the world participated last year in Yad Vashem conferences and seminars, learning how to teach students about the Holocaust. Holocaust education in China is particularly fascinating. Until the 1980s China basically followed the Soviet approach, lumping the genocide against Jews together with other war crimes of fascism and capitalism.
But when China began opening its doors to the outside world, the Chinese were thirsty to learn – and Jewish studies started to flourish.
Gideon Bachar, head of the Foreign Ministry's Department for Combating Anti-Semitism, said that organized Holocaust studies will be extended this year to countries that have never had them before, such as South Korea and Cyprus. A group of twenty educators from India, Australia and Singapore are currently studying at Yad Vashem, and similar contingents from New Zealand and Korea are on deck.
